" Old Li, stop looking, I'm closing the door!"
Just as Li Shimin was about to look at something more, Ling Yi's voice came from the other side, and then Ling Yi slammed the red lacquered wooden door shut and disappeared from Li Shimin's sight the next moment.
"Indeed, these are divine methods. I wonder when I will be able to make a trip to the Immortal Realm."
On the other side, after Ling Yi put away the Space-Time Gate, he began to look around.
The scenery of Green Mountain is beautiful, that goes without saying.
However, Ling Yi wasn't in the mood to appreciate the scenery right now; he really wanted to find a "local" to find out which world this was.
The Space-Time Anchor is random, and it is completely impossible to determine exactly which world it will be in.
It would be perfect if I could travel to the world of a movie, anime, or novel that I know very well.
To be honest, Ling Yi really didn't want to travel to the ancient world.
Take the Great Tang, especially the early Tang period, for example. What was the point? There was no good food, no good clothes, and no good housing.
Even if I don't travel to the worlds of those movies or TV series, I'd be happy to travel to a parallel modern world.
"Sir, there's a road here, but I don't know where it leads!" At this moment, a guard pointed to a narrow dirt road by the lake and said.
Ling Yi's eyes lit up. As long as it was on the right, it meant there should be people nearby. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a group of people walking towards him from the other side of the hillside.
They were dressed in a disheveled manner; some wore tattered armor, while others were simply dressed in plain clothes.
Although most of them carried weapons such as knives and guns, they walked unsteadily and haphazardly, appearing to have no Combat ability whatsoever.
There was only one imposing, muscular man leading the group, armed with a gun; he looked like someone who was no ordinary person.
Unlike the others, this person, though also dressed in plain clothes, walked with a steady and powerful gait, appearing quite extraordinary.
Upon seeing Ling Yi and his companions, the group paused for a moment before rushing towards Ling Yi.
In the blink of an eye, they were upon them, surrounding Ling Yi and the other two.
Who are you, and how did you get here?
The one who spoke was the burly man, who raised his spear and shouted at Ling Yi and the other two.
The man looked Ling Yi and his companions up and down, his eyes filled with astonishment.
The three of Ling Yi were dressed far too extravagantly.
Ling Yi, dressed in a brocade robe, looked like a wealthy young master who seemed untouched by worldly affairs, and did not appear to pose any threat.
However, the two guards behind this young master, dressed in full armor, appeared quite extraordinary.
Bright silver armor, bright silver helmet, bright silver boots, bright silver longsword—this outfit is both noble and imposing, clearly not something to be underestimated.
Putting everything else aside, this outfit alone must be incredibly expensive.
This strong and muscular man had seen the world, but even the elite guards in the imperial palace probably couldn't afford such luxury, and their spirit and energy were far superior.
Moreover, seeing how fearless these men were, the burly man became even more wary.
"Who are you? Where is this place?" Ling Yi retorted.
"Since you've come all this way, how can you not know where you are? It's laughable! Quickly tell us where you came from, or if we make our move, swords and blades have no eyes."
"Well!"
Ling Yi sighed. It seemed impossible to get the other party to speak properly.
Since that's the case, Ling Yi grabbed at the Void and flung it away.
The next moment, amidst the gasps of the crowd, the weapons in their hands vanished. By the time they came to their senses, all the weapons had fallen at the feet of the mysterious young master.
The burly man suddenly retreated a few steps, his face filled with horror.
What kind of trick is this? In the blink of an eye, without them even realizing it, they seized their weapons.
Since they could seize their weapons, taking their lives would naturally be an extremely simple matter.
The burly man's face was somewhat grim. He had once been the chief instructor of the imperial guards and considered himself, while not invincible, to be a master.
But in front of this mysterious young master, he was completely powerless to fight back?
"Can you answer my question now?" Ling Yi asked calmly, after Intimidation the man with his hand.
"Enough with the words. My brother has been incredibly kind to me. I, Lin Chong, am a true hero. Do with me as you please," the burly man said coldly.
This "I'd rather die than tell" attitude made Ling Yi roll his eyes.
"Your name is Lin Chong? The brother you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be named Song Jiang, would you?"
Since you already know, why ask any more questions?
If it really is Lin Chong, then doesn't that mean this world is Water Margin World?
"So, this is the Northern Song, and the emperor is that good-for-nothing Zhao Ji? What year of the Xuanhe era is it now?"
Ling Yi doesn't know much about history, but he's watched a lot of TV dramas.
Therefore, he knew some of the historical background of the Water Margin.
Lin Chong gave Ling Yi a strange look. Not only did he dare to address the emperor by his given name, but he also called the emperor a good-for-nothing?
They're definitely not from the imperial court; could they be some other Lin Hao?
"It is now the first year of Xuanhe. May I ask which mountain you, young master, belong to? My brother Song Jiang loves to make friends with heroes from all walks of life. If he were to meet you, he would be overjoyed."
Sure, you're already helping your brother recruit more members right away?
Ling Yi ignored Lin Chong, turned around and sat down on a blue stone by the lake, beginning to think about the next step, or rather, how he would cause trouble in this world.
Personal Space requires Spacetime Energy to open new Space-Time Anchor, which means that lying flat is impossible.
Besides, even if you were to lie flat, you couldn't do that in ancient times; wouldn't it be better to lie flat in the modern world?
But how do we do it?
Just like in the Great Tang, helping Emperor Huizong of Song? Don't be ridiculous. If it were Song Kuangyin, it would be acceptable for him to lend a hand.
But what about the Northern Song at this time? Forget it, Emperor Huizong of Song was utterly incompetent, or rather, Ling Yi didn't want to save the Song Dynasty during this period.
Throughout the Great Song, apart from a few emperors who had some backbone, most emperors were not very serious.
Some preferred carpentry, some murdered meritorious officials, and some, in order to escape, directly passed the throne to their sons, becoming retired emperors themselves to avoid the ravages of war.
Even more outrageous is the story of an emperor who, after being captured by the Kingpin, actually helped Kingpin persuade the Great Song to open the city gates and surrender.
It's absolutely intoxicating; they're a bunch of complete idiots.
Why not lead Song Jiang and his men in a rebellion and overthrow the Song Dynasty?
Ling Yi glanced at the misfits around Lin Chong and thought, "Forget it, let Song Jiang handle the rebellion."
To be honest, Song Jiang wasn't a good person either. His initial statement, "Daring to laugh at the lack of true manhood in the Huang Chao," already revealed his ambition.
However, the group of misfits at Mount Liang had no chance of achieving anything, so Song Jiang had to change his strategy, stir up trouble, raise his status, accept the imperial amnesty, and return to the court.
Of course, Ling Yi didn't comment on whether Song Jiang was good or bad, nor did he bother to find out.
Ling Yi was very interested to see what would happen if Song Jiang's rebellion succeeded.
Thinking of this, Ling Yi said to Lin Chong, "Tell Song Jiang that I think highly of him and tell him to do a good job. If he succeeds in rebelling and takes that position, I, Ling Yi, will have a great gift for him."
As he spoke, Ling Yi waved his hand, Wu Bai sets of silver-white armor and weapons clattered and piled up in front of Lin Chong and the others.
This scene left Lin Chong and the others completely dumbfounded.
Several people even knelt down on the ground, shouting "God!"
Lin Chong swallowed hard, his eyes fixed intently on the armor before him.
"These armors were specially crafted by me. Anyone who wears them will be invincible. Although there are only Wu Bai sets, it is enough for you to roam freely in this dynasty."
These are all enhanced versions of armor and weapons, just like the ones Ling Yi gave to the Dharma Master Xuanzang.
With the advent of trains in the Great Tang, massive amounts of iron and copper were smelted and transported to Chang'an.
Ling Yi has collected quite a lot. The iron, copper, and other metals in his Personal Space are enough for Ling Yi to forge thousands of sets of such weapons and armor.
As for what Ling Yi will do next, he already has a plan.
He planned to destroy all the countries surrounding the Great Song. If possible, Ling Yi even planned to destroy all other countries in the world except the Great Song, Later unification.
As for how the Song Dynasty should handle this, we'll discuss that later.
If all else fails, then let Li Shimin send someone to take over this world.
Compared to the emperors of the Song Dynasty, Li Shimin was at least more reliable.
Anyway, in Ling Yi's eyes, stirring up trouble, rebellion, and the like was just too trivial.
At this moment, Lin Chong was at a loss for words.
However, Ling Yi was too lazy to waste time arguing with this guy, and instead pulled out the Space-Time Gate again.
Upon opening the door, they saw Li Shimin, who was hopelessly drunk and flushed, in his own villa.
" Old Li, that's going too far! You dared to steal my wine while I was away?"
"Ahem, just a little drink, a little drink." Li Shimin was caught red-handed and felt a bit embarrassed.
Ling Yi said to the two guards beside him, "You two go back first!"
The door can be opened at will, which means that one can travel between the two worlds at any time.
Judging from Li Shimin's appearance, not much time has probably passed, and the time flow in both worlds should be the same.
That's good.
After the two guards returned to the Great Tang, Ling Yi said to Li Shimin, "Prepare five thousand elite soldiers for me; I'll need them later."
"Does your Immortal Realm also have wars?" Li Shimin asked curiously.
" Immortal Realm my foot! This world is just like the Great Tang. You'll see when you come here."
"Not the Immortal Realm? It's the same as the Great Tang? Can I go there in the future?" Li Shimin grasped the key point, and his eyes lit up.
"Rest assured, sir, I will have Cheng Zhijie and the others prepare immediately."
Ling Yi nodded, closed the door, and then put the Gate of Space-Time back into his Personal Space.
Then, to the astonishment of Lin Chong and the others, Ling Yi appeared wearing a full set of silver-white armor.
Then, Berserk gust of air burst forth, carrying Ling Yi straight into the sky.
Lin Chong and the others looked up and watched Ling Yi leave, only turning their gaze away once Ling Yi had disappeared from sight.
"Quickly, go and invite Brother Song Jiang over."
Once he came to his senses, Lin Chong quickly called out to his men.
A moment later, Song Jiang arrived in Haste with Black Whirlwind Li Kui, Wu Yong, the strategist, Wu Song, the Tiger Wu Song, and others.
After Lin Chong recounted the events from beginning to end, everyone fell silent.
Song Jiang harbored many doubts.
Although Legend of gods Ghost in this era, Song Jiang never believed in them, but he didn't say much about it.
He was just wondering what Lin Chong really meant by saying that.
However, these weapons and armor all look quite extraordinary.
Li Kui, on the other hand, laughed loudly and Taunt, " Lin Chong, are you perhaps so desperate for merit that you've gone mad? Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe such a ridiculous lie."
As he spoke, he walked to the pile of weapons and armor, took out a knife, and swung it directly at his own battle axe...
